Team Experience reactions #2: Final questions from today's nominations

We've polled Team Experience one last time today to answer the following three questions to complete our Oscar Nomination Day reactions (apart from the podcast which is going up soon). We hope you'll chime in too.

Let's begin.

WHICH OMISSION MOST UPSET YOU?

CHRIS FEIL: Did the acting branch not get their Swimona swag??
